| The rehabilitation proposes economic and functional rationality in a respectful and simple architectural intervention, to achieve the goal of a viable project. | ||
| The "Wine Therapy" is a quality complement for hostelry establishments and wineries, a rural booming "wine tourism" which integrates and enhances the commercial and cultural aspects in the wine world. | ||
| The historical importance of the building and its cultural value is another fact that confers reliability and consistency to the existing hotel. In this context the location of "San Clodio´s" Hotel-Monastery in the heart of the "Ribeiro" wineland is specially suitable for this use. Operational profitability improves when reconciles private (hotel´s complement) and public (outdoor) use. | ||
| The proposed place to house the new establishment is part of the old monastery complex, close to the hotel areas, suitable for compatible accesses, a public one from the entry plaza and a privet one through the back gardens and vineyard. | ||
| We also propose a direct indoor access from the hotel, through the cafeteria located on the ground floor, matching up with wine therapy center´s mezzanine. This contact generates a new shared "natural-bar" space. | ||
| The existence of this owned vineyard also justifies the "wine therapy" concept and functionally provides a relaxing outdoor space as a natural extension of the complex. | ||
| The available indoor space is enough to adapt the required brief, both functional and facilities, and its maintenance, managed either from the hotel or independently. | ||
| The proposed program aims to keep compatible playful and health uses, making a clear distinction between areas, to ensure independence and privacy for treatment spaces while regarding the center´s flexible use. | ||
